A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...

[Ivan Miranda] isn’t afraid to dream big, and hopes to soon build a 3D printed giant robot he can ride around on. As the first step towards that goal, he’s built a giant printed hand big enough to ...

A four-fingered robotic hand built from Lego Mindstorms pieces can push, pull and grip with almost as much force as a leading ...

In a groundbreaking development at the forefront of biotech, researchers at ETH Zurich have achieved a monumental leap with the successful printing of a robotic hand boasting bones, ligaments, and ...

With a small arsenal of 3D printers in his lab, he thought what a good project it would be to print a functional rubber hand ...

Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons ...

And while 3D printing technology has gotten much more accessible and sophisticated, other applications of automation, by comparison, seem stuck in their ways. Take, for example, a modern assembly line ...

High school can be challenging and intimidating for some teenagers. But luckily, a 15-year-old differently-abled boy from Tennessee found the right group of people. Sergio Peralta was born with an ...

It is projected that there are more than 57 million amputees worldwide and only about 5 percent of them have access to prosthetic care and technology. Those that do have access to prostheses are often ...
